Michael Beale has confessed Glen Kamara has a big decision over his Rangers future.
The 27-year-old has found game-time harder to come by after the emergence of January recruits Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin. The duo have hit the ground running at Ibrox and have now grabbed two midfield slots with the likes of John Lundstram, Ryan Jack and the former Arsenal and Dundee man fighting it out for the one remaining spot.
The Light Blues grabbed his services in a £50,000 coup and it is coming to that stage whether he is at the club for a considerable future or the Ibrox men cash in this summer with two years remaining on his current deal.

Kieran Dowell has been added to the midfield reinforcements already with a pre-contract penned from Norwich City and it is an area they could further address this summer. Kamara's future at the club is very open and Beale has urged him to use this international break with Finland to really consider where he is at in his career and want he wants to do.
He said: “I think Glen is at a stage of his career at 27 where he is either going to be here now for the rest of his career and dig in and have a really strong pre-season.
“He is either going to be here for a considerable future or we will probably sell him this summer. When I came in he had an ankle problem he couldn’t get over.
“We kicked the operation into touch because we had a lot of injuries and Glen played through that for a period, then we gave him a chance to settle. He has not got back in the team because the boys that are playing have played very well.
“For Glen, everything is open really. But I think he needs to look at the competition that’s here in pre-season and decide whether there is going to be enough football for him.”
He added: “Me and the staff’s relationship with Glen is really strong.
“Neil Banfield [assistant manager] was one of the heads of Arsenal when he was coming through. He is a boy that I was quite influential in bringing to the club and I have gone on a journey with him.
“Against Hearts last week, I thought he grew into the game but he went into the game with a slight hamstring issue.
“Glen will go away with Finland in the summer and we will see what happens. I think Glen needs the break to really consider where he is at in his career and what he wants to do."
